About this ebook
Cleveland's Colorful Character's tells many interesting and unknown stories about Cleveland and some of its more interesting citizens. Many of these citizens helped create some of Cleveland's and the country's finest institutions. Unfortunately, many of these stories are unknown to those living in the Cleveland area, and even fewer outside the area. With insights on how Clevelanders were the basis for the book, The Great Gatsby, having the first municipal airport in the country, the first automobile capital in the country, real life ghost stories, or a few previously unreported differences between men and women, there is something for everyone in this book. Especially for those with an interest in learning something new and different. If you're an automobile enthusiast, you'll enjoy the last 3 chapters as they detail over 125 automobile manufacturers in Cleveland. There is even a listing of everyone who owned a vehicle in 1904 in Cleveland.
